Silversea Luxury Cruises A San Antonio

Famous for its glitzy bars and world-class night clubs, San Antonio’s reputation of being the planet’s hippest party place has become a self-fulfilling prophecy in recent years. But for those who don’t necessarily want to go out until the early morning, just look beyond the strip and expect to find an Ibiza of different proportions. From the palm fringed promenade, the safe, shallow waters, the pristine beaches to the bohemian atmosphere, San Antonio boasts probably the prettiest natural harbour in Europe, jammed packed with super yachts in the summer months.

The upshot of being one of the most popular resorts in Spain is that cuisine and entertainment on the island is world-class. “Sunset strip” as it is locally known to the west of the town, boasts a host of bars, cafes and restaurants, not to mention a spectacular view of the astonishing island sunsets. Places here are coveted so make sure to reserve. But that’s not all – historians will also be interested to see the “Columbus egg”. Widely believed to hail from the island, Columbus proved with the egg that “nothing is impossible” in order to gain the financial back to make his epic journey to America.

Several varieties are grown here; Monastrell, Malvasia and Muscatel are the most common.

Upon arrival, learn about the land, climate, ecological plantations, plant cycles, and the production of the olives that are also grown in this area.

Jeep Adventure

Depart the pier in your 4x4 and begin your drive inland. Whilst driving mostly off-road, see parts of the island far away from the recent tourist developments and discover areas that have remained unchanged for the last 100 years. Over trails and roads, you'll reach every scenic corner that Ibiza has to offer. The route has been designed for you to see the beauty and conservation of nature, passing through small country settlements, green valleys and cracks between the mountains and the cliffs.

Beach

At the end of the tour you will make a stop at a beach where you'll have approximately 1 hour to swim, relax and enjoy the crystal-clear waters.

You will conclude your tour by driving back to the pier and your ship.

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of activity; you will be riding in jeeps and have time to swim at a beach. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or who utilise a wheelchair. Wear clothing appropriate for jeeps and wear your swimsuit under your clothes. Bring a hat, sunscreen and a beach towel. The drivers are multilingual and offer very extensive information about culture, customs and botany of the island. The drivers and jeeps are of local colour and style, which means that their image is truer Ibizan in style.

Leaving the port of San Antonio, your tour travels to the north where you will experience the natural beauty of the area of Portinatx, enhanced by rock formations and juniper and pine trees.

San Juan

Located 22 km (13.7 miles) north-west you will discover San Juan, offering some of the island's most unspoilt countryside. In the centre of town there is a church built in typically Ibizan style; make a brief stop in this village for time to visit the church and photos.

Santa Eulalia

After passing San Carlos, once a popular gathering place in the 60's, we arrive at Santa Eulalia, a long-time favourite haunt of painters and writers. Once a primary market centre for the rich farms of the north-eastern quadrant of the island, it has now become the main tourist resort on the east coast. The old white church on the hilltop is surrounded by cube-shaped houses, which distinguish Ibicenco architecture. The ensemble looks different from each direction and at various times of the day.
